Representations of Muslims have never been more common in the Western imagination than they are today. Building on Orientalist stereotypes constructed over centuries, the figure of the wily Arab has given rise, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, to the "Islamist" terrorist. In Idols in the East, Suzanne Conklin Akbari explores the premodern background of some of the Orientalist types still pervasive in present-day depictions of Muslims the irascible and irrational Arab, the religiously deviant Islamist and about how these stereotypes developed over time. Idols in... Representations of Muslims have never been more common in the Western imagination than they are today. Building on Orientalist stereotypes construc... |

ISBN: 9780822352174 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Muslim Becoming, Naveeda Khan challenges the claim that Pakistan's relation to Islam is fragmented and problematic.

ISBN: 9780199361779 / Angielski / Twarda / 367 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Place of the Mediterranean in Modern Israeli Identity (Paperback)
ISBN: 9789004186194 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Representing Jihad: The Appearing and Disappearing Radical
ISBN: 9781780322636 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The jihad has been at the centre of the West's securitization discourse for more than a decade. Theorists constantly use the jihadist as a discursive tool to further their neoliberal, military and market agendas, perpetuating massive gaps of understanding between 'the West', Muslims and jihadists themselves. They are helped by Muslim interlocutors, who all too often play the role of 'good' Muslims explaining the motifs of the 'bad' Muslims.
This timely book argues that Muslim theory and fiction has been significantly commodified to cater to the needs of western ideology. It skillfully...
